Swam in a creek in the middle of a rainforest ✔️

Ate ice cream in flavors I’d never encountered before ✔️

Saw scary spiders but more importantly gorgeous butterflies and the happiest frog ✔️

Thanks, Daintree Rainforest!!

❆ SEATTLE (ep44): unexpected sleepover at SEA

Now that we are confirmed to be staying overnight at the Seattle airport. .. We went around looking for more food.

Beecher’s Homemade Cheese shop.

I forgot which terminal this was located in bcos DL & I walked around a LOT. Good thing we didn’t check in anything, so we had all our belongings!

I have never heard of Beecher’s before but it’s basically an artisan cheese shop that sells a variety of cheese. Their location here also has actual menu items that feature their cheese/incorporates their cheese in some way. I was pretty excited to try it actually.

You know how most airport shops are quite small, this Beecher’s took up quite a big space. They had these large photographs on display on their wall & they were like. .. I don’t know.. 24 x 36in?

Cheeses!

Saw some interesting ones but didn’t buy any. Prices were steep!

One of their latest items at the time: the Breadzel

Looks . .. alright. Kinda dry, if you asked me.

Their menu~

We got the Mac n Cheese. It was SO CHEESY (& creamy)!!! Almost. .. artificially cheesy lol it’s so hard to describe. You know the cheetos cheese. .. the ‘fake’ cheese powder stuff that’s like. .. over the top? But you know it’s not real cheese. This was ‘real’ cheese but it was sooooo cheesy like the cheetos products haha it was so weird! I didn’t care for the macaroni much but . . overall, it was just okay.

Found a spot in the corner at Terminal A, near Gate 20 to spend the night. ..

Literally had this whole terminal to ourselves. ..

The time didn’t go by slow, which was surprising. I was catching up on my diary/travel journal so I don’t forget details for this blog post LOL I also called my family, DL called hers as well. We both did our own things for the rest of the evening, & discussed the idea that Edmonton should send Seattle a guide on how to deal with snow at the airport. ..

We took turns taking 2-3 hr naps in our corner for the entire night. DL was able to nap but I couldn’t so when it was my turn to ‘nap’, I just rested my eyes but my mind was fully awake. It was very quiet. ..

& THEN MORNING CAME~

We went over to Terminal B for McDs. When we were doing our rounds last night, we realized that the airport only has 2 places open 24 hrs. One was McD’s & the other is a cafe called Mocha Cafe. Both were in Terminal B.

Admiring some McD’s wall art lol

Okay. .. 0830h: we were actually in front of Gate B21. Someone from the Air Canada desk told us that Gate B21 was gonna be used for another flight & that our flight got relocated to .. . yup, you got it! Back to A20. So we had to travel back here lol just can’t seem to leave A20.

More things. ..

 Our air craft (the one that’s coming from Toronto) is delayed coming in bcos they were slow/delayed on the boarding (when leaving Toronto) so the wait continues.. .

& then we got another boarding pass???

Yeah I don’t know. Things got so “messy” here =(  but basically, what happened was: they said they over-booked. So some passengers from our ‘original’ flight got taken off, & we were 2 of the unlucky ones. We got boarding passes for the next flight, which supposedly was like leaving an hr after this one. I mean. .. not that we had an option to refuse anyway but. .. what the heck! It’s an extra hr!

Hope (the Air Canada desk agent) found us in the crowd sometime shortly after & booked us back onto the original flight........ ?!?!?! Yes.

Our “FINAL” boarding pass: AC8090, departing 1030h.

** putting this picture here bcos Air Canada offered us free check-in of luggage due to limited space on air craft so both DL & I checked our carry-on in.

1010: okay so, departure time was scheduled for 1030h & it’s 20mins away but we haven’t started boarding yet. In fact, there was no air craft around that pulled up at the gate...... omg

1030h: we took an airport bus from gate A20 to a remote place on the take-off ground lol it was nearly a 5-min ride & we were like.. . “where are we going?” & then once the bus stopped, we continued to wait inside the bus.

1100h: boarding the Air Canada Express plane!

I’ve never been on one of these. It was super tiny o.O The air craft looked like a jet, honestly. I can see why they offered free check-in service bcos our carry-on suitcases would not fit on the overhead compartment =/

1125h: air craft warmed up & we are ready to go!

1135: OFFICIALLY IN THE AIR! :D honestly wasn’t 100% confident that we were even gonna make it/land in/arrive at Vancouver. .. but we finally left the Seattle airport haha

1208h (YVR time): we landed safely despite being a very bumpy ride. It was kinda scary! I guess smaller air crafts aren’t very stable compared to larger ones. Anyway, we arrived & the scenery looked exactly the same as Seattle.

Again, we landed on a random part of the airport...

This temporary gate was set up & it was quite a distance away from the ‘building’ =S

We went thru customs, picked up our checked bags & then headed to the Skytrain station

Yup. .. SNOW!!!!

MORE SNOW!

But yeah, we took the Skytrain from the airport to the Downtown core, specifically the Yaletown Roundhouse station.

Travel Ideas For 2024

While the focus is very much on Christmas right now, before you know it the new year will be upon us and thoughts will turn to a break in the sun. I always think it’s good to have a holiday to look forward to, especially during the cold, dark months. If you haven’t already booked a getaway for next year and are wondering where and when to go, I have some travel ideas for 2024. Guaranteed…

Confessions of an Overpacker

I’m currently unpacking a suitcase full of cute tops, dresses and workout wear. It’s all being hung right back up in my closet because it was never worn. I totally overpacked for the cruise, but I was prepared for it to be cold, slightly chilly, warm and hot. I was prepared to go swim, go dancing or go workout (I did none of those things.) Not actually me, but she’s probably overpacking…

So deeply not ready for this trip to go over. This was a dream trip years and years in the making, and it lived up to and surpassed all its expectations. (For one, we were not attacked by any spiders.) Post-trip depression is so real! What do you mean I have to go back to real life?? At least I’ll see my precious soft cat at the end of these long, long flights.
